| Tóm tắt: | Greenhouse cultivation has expanded during the last few decades around the world to dif-
ferent areas of ‘mild winter climate’, an expression coined by Portuguese colleagues Carlos
Portas and António Monteiro in December 1985, on the occasion of an ISHS (International
Society for Horticultural Sciences) Symposium, held in Faro (Portugal). These mild winter
climate conditions are characteristic of the Mediterranean region but are not exclusive to
the countries of the Mediterranean Basin.
This book is mainly focused on plastic greenhouses, the majority in Spain, and chiefly
oriented towards the cultivation of vegetable crops. The reader will often find references to
works carried out in the north of Europe and other areas with a tradition of growing in
sophisticated greenhouses, when it is necessary to fill some gaps in information.
The text is aimed at both qualified horticulturists and field technicians, as well as at
students and specialists in greenhouse cultivation.
It is not a general treatise on protected horticulture, enumerating and describing the
growing techniques, providing recipes on fertilization, plant protection or other similar
aspects. It deals with the current technology and the management of plastic greenhouses,
describing the principles on which they are based, with a pragmatic and quantitative
approach, when possible, and also dealing with other interesting aspects within the inte-
grated approach of protected cultivation (economic analysis, marketing, production strate-
gies). I trust that it may contribute to improving the protected cultivation agricultural
systems in plastic greenhouses of very diverse areas.
The encouragement received from José María Hernández, director of Mundi-Prensa,
during the last few years and from Joaquín Hernández during the slow writing process has
been very important. |
